Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh Yankee's abacus
The sudden report interrupted Mr. Su's idea of taking a nap with his wife and taking the opportunity to do something inappropriate for children. As a result, someone became extremely angry. He waved his hand without thinking and said: "Let this person
Get out of here, guy, I don’t have time to see him!”
"Puch!"
Seeing Su Rui's dissatisfied look, Xu Yaoshan, who had been husband and wife with him for several years, could naturally see her husband's bad intentions. She chuckled before reaching out and pinching his waist with a soft, charming voice.
He scolded: "You guys, what bad things are you thinking of doing? Colonel Hurley doesn't come to our door easily. Why do you still let people turn away when he comes to visit us today? Why don't you go see him quickly?"
"No, a man will just say no. I am a general of a country, and he is only a colonel. This status difference is too far, it is not equal at all." Su Rui put his hands on his hips and took up the air.
.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get down to business. At worst, I'll just keep you company tonight." Xu Yaoshan pushed her husband helplessly. Others didn't know Su Rui's temper. She had been sleeping with him for several years.
It's so clear that this guy seems to be getting more and more mature on weekdays, and he seems to have a calmer and more confident temperament on the surface. But only the few people next to them know that in fact, they
My husband is quite childish sometimes, just like a child who needs to be coaxed from time to time.
"Forget it Zhongxin, since Colonel Hurley is here and everyone here is a guest, you might as well meet him." These were Song Ziqing's words.
"Yes, Zhongxin. It's hard for me to come here. You can't just ignore me. This is not the way to treat guests." This sentence was said by Yang Peile.
"Hey, you all deserve to be from scholarly families." Someone felt that the roots of his teeth were itching.
Finally, someone whose teeth were itching with hatred grunted twice and grinded his teeth twice more before reluctantly saying in a muffled voice: "Okay, let that Hurley come in."
Soon, when Hurley, dressed in military uniform, walked into the pavilion, Song Ziqing and the three daughters had already left. At this time, unlike later generations, when guests came to visit, the family members could not easily see outsiders, except for those who were really well-connected.
Except for family friendships or family friends.
Hurley still has the slightly upturned beard, and his red cheeks still have a proud smile that seems to make everyone look down on him.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Su Ruiji walked up to him, shook hands with Hurley, and said with a smile: "Oh, Colonel Hurley, what kind of wind brought you here today? You are
What a rare guest. No wonder I woke up this morning and saw the magpies in front of my door chirping non-stop."
Although Hurley has been in China for several years, he still hasn't figured out the relationship between distinguished guests and magpies. However, this does not prevent him from showing a "sincere" smile: "Haha, General Su is too polite, you
Our troops fought such a great victory in Fujian and sank a Japanese aircraft carrier and more than ten warships in Fujian waters. As an old friend of the Chinese people, shouldn't I come to congratulate you?"
The two people, who had different intentions, shook hands pretendingly and then quickly separated. The two sat down in the pavilion, and soon a young servant brought two cups of tea. Suri pointed his hand and smiled.
He said: "Colonel Hurley, I'm so sorry. We don't have the habit of drinking coffee at home, so I can only treat you to a cup of tea. You won't mind."
"Come on, General Su is so polite. According to scientific research, drinking tea is healthier than drinking coffee, so I have switched to drinking tea during this period." Hurley said very politely as he picked up the cup.
He took a sip from the cup, and then said in surprise: "Oh, this tea is really good. The best Shifeng Yuqian Longjing tea!"
Su Rui was startled for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the foreign devil with some surprise. Su Rui was a majestic war zone commander with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. He ruled tens of millions of people, so naturally he would not be so poor that he could not even serve coffee to his guests.
He couldn't bring it out, but he had never had a good impression of the American military attache in China with a raised nose, so he specially asked people to bring tea out to entertain the guests. Unexpectedly, this foreigner was really knowledgeable. He not only recognized Longjing tea, but also even drank it.
The place of origin and season are pointed out.
"Isn't this guy a deceiver?" Su Rui thought angrily in his heart. Someone who traveled through time from the future has no bones in his bones. He was a slut in his previous life, not to mention that he can drink.
Now that Dragon and Lion's Yuqian Longjing is out, I'm afraid all the tea will taste the same in his mouth.
Fortunately, today is not a tea-tasting party, and the guilt in this guy's heart just flashed past and was never found again. Su Rui put down the tea cup and smiled lightly: "Colonel Hurley, you didn't come here on purpose today.
Want to drink tea with me?"
"Of course not. I know you are busy, so in addition to congratulating you on your department's great victory, I came here today to tell you that our government sent a telegram and formally informed you that you were sent to
The three hundred cadets at the Annapolis Naval Academy in the United States will complete their training period in December this year and return home. President Roosevelt of our country asked me to tell you that if you are willing, you can increase the number of trainees sent to the United States in the next period.
The number of naval personnel, our Annapolis Naval Academy and the U.S. Naval War College are willing to open our doors to you."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Su Rui couldn't help being slightly startled when he first heard the news. You must know that isolationism in the United States these days is not just talk, it is also reflected in all aspects of the United States. For example, many years ago, when the U.S. government and the Japanese were flirting with each other,
, the U.S. government has openly and covertly blocked the quota of Chinese students sent to various military academies in the United States. Even last year, when Su Rui wanted to send 300 naval cadets to the United States, Su Rui had to pay a certain price to get the quota.
, why are Americans so warm-hearted today?
After hearing this good news, Su Rui, who had always believed in the saying of being courteous or stealing without anything, did not show any joy, but felt respect in his heart. He hid the expression on his face by lowering his head to drink tea.
He had a strange look on his face, and after taking a few sips of tea, he said: "Colonel Hurley, if you have any more news to tell me, you might as well tell me all together, so that I don't have to ask them one by one."
"Haha... General Su, you are so wise." Hurley laughed twice before saying: "That's right, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but just two days ago, Chairman Chiang's wife came to our country, the United States of America.
, had detailed talks with our President Roosevelt, and also gave a speech in our Congress and achieved great success. On behalf of your government, Mrs. Chiang formally submitted a request to our government for more aid to China. After
With the careful consideration of our Government and the approval of Congress, President Roosevelt has approved your Government's request."
Having said this, Hurley secretly glanced at Suri out of the corner of his eye, but found that there was nothing strange about Suri's face. He swallowed secretly and then said: "Therefore, President Roosevelt believes that
, if we want to increase the amount of aid materials to China, then relying on Guangzhou as a port as a transfer station for materials will be too crowded and inconvenient, so... therefore..." At this point, Hurley's voice began to sound a little
He stammered.
"What's that for, Colonel Hurley?" Suri's voice quickly rang out.
Hurley gritted his teeth secretly, and then said: "President Roosevelt of our country believes that it is necessary to open another port as a transfer station for aid materials to China, and we think it is most appropriate to establish this transfer station in your newly recovered Fujian Province.
.And as the material transfer station is such an important place, its guarding work should be strengthened. Our government believes that it is most appropriate for it to be in the hands of your government, so..."
Su Rui's suppressed angry voice immediately sounded in the pavilion: "So you want me to hand over Fujian, which cost more than 20,000 casualties to others, to others, is that right? Colonel Hurley?"
"Oh...please don't be so excited, dear General Su." Hurley quickly said: "General, please forgive me, everything should be prioritized. The most important thing in your country right now is
It is to resist the Japanese invasion and fight against the Japanese, and if I remember correctly, you and your troops are also affiliated with the National Government, so you should also obey the orders of the government, right?"
"Yes, but that's just in name only." Su Rui said coldly: "And this is our country's internal affairs, and your government should not bother to intervene, right?"
At this time, Su Rui was very angry. Yes, he was very angry. In later generations, he often heard that Americans always like to interfere in other countries' internal affairs. But at that time, he was just a little prostitute at the bottom of society. This
He could only listen to such important national events, but today he finally directly felt the power of such interference.
Hurley on the side naturally felt Suri's anger. His brows slowly furrowed, and he couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart. What kind of bastard had the idea to let the man in front of him just beat him so hard?
I handed over the territory I came down with both hands. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to agree to this idiot's idea!
Su Rui took a deep breath and then said: "Colonel Hurley, if your government wants me to hand over Fujian to the National Government in exchange for increasing the number of naval cadets studying in the United States, then I can tell you right now that this is impossible! And!
I would also like to advise your government that this is our country’s internal affairs and no one else needs to interfere. Do you hear me clearly?”
Anyone can hear the determination in Suri's tone, and Hurley is no exception... (To be continued...)
